    Will this be scheduled for 6 or more rounds? This is very important!

    This fight will not happen, exhibition or no.

    Lewis will have to know that there is bad blood on Vitali's part.

    The first was a hell of a fight, Lewis won fair and square, a rematch would have been nice, but Lewis wanted to pursue being a father. It ought to have been let go at that.

    If Vitali still wants to fight, he should revive the old Larry Holmes old-man belt they tried for awhile, and fight other guys of his generation who might want to make some money, like Rahmen, Maskaev, etc.

    The Lewis rivaly should be left to die. Lewis is top five ATG heavy, Vitali a top 25. Considering the tens of thousands who have competed since the dawn of Queensbury rules, that is not bad, and neither man has anything to be ashamed of.

    I kid you not it was on skysports. There's a reason why I don't take the opinion of most British boxing fans seriously. The most disillusion group of fan base in all of boxing.

    If there is any objective British fan reading this, accept my apology, I just had to say it the way it is.

    Anybody who has sparred knows how this could very easily go:

    One minute you're getting in a little work, then you get popped by a jab. So you fire back a shot that's just a little harder. Next thing you know, a hook with some intention is headed your way.

    A little tit for tat, and it is on.

    I'd be all for more exhibition fights with big, otherwise retired names. Run a seniors tour with 'em!

    Sounds like a circus match, is Tyson Fury the referee?

    If it actually winds up happening, I'm expecting it to be very tame, with lots of laughter and posturing and sportsmanship. It will all be in good fun, I'd think - contrary to what many here and elsewhere are speculating about "bad blood" or "a real fight breaking out". These people need to share what they're smoking.

    Starts out as slap boxing, ends like a drunken brawl.

    More like starts out similarly to Mitt Romney vs Evander Holyfield, and ends like what happened after Rocky beat Apollo in a foot race.

    Meh I would give either a good shot to beat wilder. And both would still go undefeated against winders resume even in their advanced age...

    Wlad had his chance to challenge Lennox after TKO 6 but he went AWOL instead
